ARW's ATMP Manufacturing Must-Reads (ST. PATRICK'S DAY EDITION!)Day-in and day-out, I write, read, listen to, and watch as much content as I can about CGT and RNA therapy manufacturing, in particular, and/or other ATMP industry-related topics that you should at least be aware of in the manufacturing facility. Once a month, I compile the articles and industry updates I think are most worthy of your time into an unconventional roundup article.

Therapeutic Oligonucleotides: Regulations & Quality StandardsOligonucleotides have surfaced in the past few years as promising therapeutic agents to treat diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, respiratory disorders, cancer, and diabetic retinopathy. This article recaps a recent USP workshop where participants from regulatory agencies, industry, and academia gathered to discuss best practices and perspectives.
SUPPLY CHAIN VIDEOS
Discover how regional manufacturing, risk-aware practices, and agile strategies are reshaping supply chains to deliver resilience, transparency, and sustainability in today’s complex global environment.
In this Advancing RNA Live segment, several speakers raise concerns about the industry's ability to accurately measure impurities, particularly dsRNA, arguing that current analytics are insufficient, especially for high-dose therapeutics.
This Advancing RNA Live clip dives into the biggest challenges in mRNA purification and the critical debate on where to focus investment. Here, our three mRNA PD experts argue for a holistic process development strategy, challenging the traditional wisdom of optimizing the upstream process at any cost.
In response to an audience poll question gauging which cGMP materials have proven the most difficult to source, our speakers provide additional clarity around which IVT & LNP-related materials today are more “commoditized”.
